In preparation for the Fourth of July and graduation season, a sweep by local law enforcement of businesses selling alcohol was conducted July 2 in Ontario County.

Ontario County sheriff’s deputies, in conjunction with the New York State Liquor Authority, checked local bars, convenience stores and liquor stores for compliance in the sales of alcohol to minors. Thirty establishments were checked county-wide, and employees at six of those locations sold alcohol to minors, police allege.

Each person was charged with one count of unlawfully dealing with a child in their respective towns; all were released with appearance tickets. The state Liquor Authority will also follow up with the establishments where sales to minors occurred.
